Part of Black Dagger Brotherhood, book 16
First published 2018
The Black Dagger Brotherhood has forged an alliance with the Band of Bastards, uniting against their common enemy. Their recent victories against the Lessening Society should mark the end of an ancient war, but peace remains elusive. Throe, once Xcor's trusted lieutenant, now works alone with deadly purpose. He has acquired an ancient tome that grants him power to create something far worse than the lessers they have fought for centuries. This new army springs from a force more malevolent than the Omega itself. The Brotherhood faces enemies on multiple fronts as Throe's supernatural soldiers emerge from darkness. Each brother must prove himself both as a warrior in battle and as a protector of those he loves. The stakes have never been higher for this band of vampire warriors.
